6-Week Hockey Speed School (Each Summer)

Are you looking to improve your on-ice speed? Each summer, Queen's Strength and Conditioning offers a speed specific training experience for local hockey players. The program is 6 weeks, incorporating training and coaching in our High Performance Training Centre, our hockey shooting range, our outdoor turf fields and a few on-ice testing/training sessions at Invista Centre. This program is focused on the development of off-ice speed and its translation into your game. We will also be using our high performance testing equipment to assess each player's speed, both on and off the ice. Work with our certified and experienced strength and conditioning staff as well as our Queen's Hockey varsity athletes, to develop your game this summer.
